By Andreas Strøjer Tynan Schmidt: Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KO’s) failed to live up to expectations against Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) on Saturday, May 3. That is the inevitable fact Floyd must have realized by now. However, before he went toe-to-toe against Argentinian slugger Marcos “El Chino” Maidana on Saturday, everything looked like another day at the office. Another guy was set up for him very similarly to recent opponents; coming off one of the biggest victories of his career, slow, flat footed and aggressive. And a Spanish-speaking Latino even.
Floyd has emphasized that fact by continuing his softer approach in the buildup for the fight. In recent years, Floyd has run out of serious competitors and only a few optimistic fans had imagined the world’s pound-for-pounder number one leaving the ring without his O in any of those fights. Most of them before facing Canelo, and boy, was that an off-guess.
By Robbie Bannatyne: Although Floyd Mayweather Jnr’s (46/0, 26KO’s) fight with Marcos Maidana (35/4, 31KO’s) failed to ignite the desire of fans when it was initially announced, this WBA and WBC welterweight unification contest quickly caught fire when the action started last Saturday at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.
By Raj Parmar: Earlier today on his twitter account, former boxer and current Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has stated that he has spent a lot of time watching Floyd Mayweather’s old fights and has come to the conclusion that Floyd should really be 43-3 instead of 46-0.
By Allan Fox: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26 KO’s) did a good job of beating Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) by standing and trading shots last Saturday night to earn a tough 12 round majority decision in their Showtime pay-per-view televised fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. But after the fight, Mayweather had less than glowing words to say about the hard hitting Argentinian fighter.
By Dan Ambrose: Last night WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) lost what many boxing fans saw as a highly controversial 12 round majority decision to WBC champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the judges scored it in Mayweather’s favor by the scores of 116-112, 117-111, 114-114, Maidana remained convinced completely in his mind that he had won the fight. 
By Daniel Clement: Last night Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26 KO’s) defeated WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) by a 12 round majority decision to capture his WBA 147 lb. title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Was Mayweather’s victory a controversial one? It was not. Was it a dirty fight that shown a lack of sportsmanship from Maidana? Yes it was in my view. 
(Photo credit: Sumio Yamada: By Daniel Hughes: The fallout from last night’s 147lb unification fight between WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KO’s) WBA champion Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s), will continue to be a subject for all fight fans to debate in the months ahead. The subject of judges’ scoring, once again be the main focus and of much head shaking. 
By Jaime Ortega: Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KO’s) not long ago criticized Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley on the radio for “fighting like amateur boxers”, yet with all the criticism, it was Floyd who fought like an amateur to a very impressive and underrated Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) last night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Bob Smith: The most appropriate response to the tremendous performance by Marcos Maidana is: Wow! Maidana clearly won 5 or 6 rounds of the fight, and I watched it live and had it in the end for Floyd Mayweather Jr by 1 or 2 points, though I could have seen a draw or even a slight edge on the cards for Maidana. One thing that I am sure of is that Mayweather did not deserve to win by more than the three points on the cards – two of the scorecards for the judges were much wider than they should have been.
By Meyer Lynk: For a man who claims to be “The Best Ever,” the best to ever lace up the gloves, and the best in all era, Floyd Mayweather Jr’s performance against Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) looked far from being “The Best” last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Don’t fall for Mayweather’s lies that were given to Jim Grey after the fight.
